New Cellular Device

CodeRed · May 13th, 2007

I'm renewing my verizon wireless plan sometime in July and I want to know if I should purchase a phone from sites such as Wirefly.com. Can this site be trusted? I surfed wirefly and found that the phones they sell are "free" because you have to buy a 2-year contract and pay full price for the phone. After about a year, wirefly will send you a rebate on the amount of money you spent on the phone. I'm not sure this company should be trusted. I need opinions!!!

check out epinions.com and ripoff report, I googled wirefly.com, and noticed quite a few negative hits.

Ahhh thanks.

Apparently wirefly has HORRIBLE customer service, which is something that's very important to me. I guess I'll just stick with buying my new phone from verizon's official website.

This goes for anything (with the exception of uber l33t deals like Newegg.com's stuff)

You get what you pay for.

I believe its worth the extra 50-100 bucks to get one of the phones that Verizon sells and SUPPORTS. people who buy phones from eBay (i think) are basically saying "RIP ME OFF WORLD!"

resellerratings.com is also a good source

Or the Better Business Bureau. They both have databases, but RR's is more widespread on e-stores.
